Holocaust Story Slowly Losing Credibility
by Ian Mosley
Slowly but surely, the Holocaust story is beginning to crumble away. Every year there is a little bit of falsification exposed here, an admission of “factual errors” and “memory lapses” there, and a quiet downward ratcheting of the “six million” figure. European nations can arrest and imprison dissident historians like the best-selling author David Irving all they want, but they can’t keep patching up a crumbling dike; one day it will burst apart completely.
A recent news article reports “It’s the latest story that touched, and betrayed, the world. ‘Herman Rosenblat and his wife are the most gentle, loving, beautiful people,’ literary agent Andrea Hurst said Sunday, anguishing over why she, and so many others, were taken by Rosenblat’s story of love born on opposite sides of a barbed-wire fence at a concentration camp. ‘I question why I never questioned it. I believed it; it was an incredible, hope-filled story.’ On Saturday, Berkley Books canceled Rosenblat’s memoir, Angel at the Fence. Rosenblat acknowledged that he and his wife did not meet, as they had said for years, at a sub-camp of Buchenwald, where she allegedly sneaked him apples and bread. The book was supposed to come out in February… Rosenblat, 79, has been married to the former Roma Radzicky for 50 years, since meeting her on a blind date in New York.”
